Could be easier to become familiar with those you meet that have been around longer on the board if there was a link to a voluntarily personal page. It wouldn't have to be full of details but just a down and dirty... here's an example using me...


You could see how something like this would be handy if you were a new member and wanted to learn something about a member that had been around for several years since it would be difficult to find an Introduce Yourself post.
In a perfect world personal info on the internet would be fine. But as it stands there are weirdos out there that want to cause harm o other people for what ever reason. Therefore personal info on the internet is a BIG NO-NO.

Overtime I have met many people on these boards and I think time is the best way to get o know on the internet.
